KeepInventoryShop

The ultimate solution for balancing the vanilla Minecraft survival experience with player convenience. Some players prefer the authentic survival aspect where /gamerule keepInventory is false, but this can be punishing for less experienced players who struggle with losing their hard-earned items. KeepInventoryShop bridges that gap!

Key Features:

• Balance and Authenticity:
  Preserve the vanilla experience with keepInventory set to false while eliminating the frustration of lost drops.
• Player Convenience:
  Empower players of all skill levels with the ability to purchase or earn KeepInventory lives, ensuring their valuable items are always protected.
• Elevate Your Gameplay:
  Add an exhilarating layer of strategic resource management where players protect their inventory and stay in control of their survival.
• KeepTotem Upgrades:
  Upgrade normal lives to KeepTotem lives. When you would die, you're saved with full health, potion effects, and a flashy totem animation!
• Multi-Currency Support:
  Players can pay with server economy, emeralds, or XP levels. Server owners configure exchange rates in the config, and players select their preferred currency in the GUI.
• Play-Time Timer System:
  Reward active players with free lives after a configurable amount of play time. Timer pauses on disconnect and resumes when they rejoin.
• Interactive GUI Shop:
  Beautiful inventory-based menus for buying lives, upgrading to KeepTotem, and admin management. No commands needed!
• Fully Customizable Messages:
  Every player-facing message can be customized via messages.yml with full color code support and placeholders.
• Smart Totem Detection:
  KeepTotem respects real Totems of Undying. If you're holding one, it activates first before consuming KeepTotem lives.
• Gamerule Aware:
  If the keepInventory gamerule is enabled, the plugin won't waste your lives. Vanilla handles it automatically.
• Customization at its Finest:
  Fine-tune initial lives, costs, timer duration, currency values, messages, and more for a tailored gameplay experience.
